A chilling thriller and a hymn to all the lonely people whose individual voices haunt its pages, Human Remains shows how vulnerable we are when we live alone, and how easily ordinary lives can fall apart when no one is watching.

Yes absolutely! I was in such a hurry to get to the end that I would want to listen again in case I missed any details.

What other book might you compare Human Remains to and why?

This was a one of a kind for me, I haven't come across anything quite like it. I don't want to give anything away, but wow things I have never thought of before and I watch a lot of crime stories on TV and listen to a lot of crime/mystery stories. I really enjoyed the originality!

What does Karen Cass bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Sincere emotions and personality.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me gasp in shock and cover my mouth once I realized what was going on. And I might have yelled at the main character a few times...

Elizabeth Raynes creates an intriguing story surrounding about how easy it is to withdraw from society and how vulnerable that makes us. Narrator did a good job creating a distinction between the two main storytellers.
